How to Save Money at Zeeland Veterinary Service
Schedule Regular Vet Visits
One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.
Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions
Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.
Pet Insurance
Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask
Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:
Tell me about your experience with [pet type].
Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.
How do you handle emergencies?
You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.
How do you communicate with pet owners?
Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.
Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?
Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.
Do you have any questions for me about my pet?
This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.
Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?
Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

I have taken my golden retriever to Zeeland Veterinary since he was a puppy and they have always been really great. Last week he got neutered and they did an awesome job, you can barely see the incision and it is healing great. I definitely recommend taking your pet there!

0 stars Very very disappointed with how this office handled my dog when she was dying. They disregarded my best friend my dog.. They had no type of sympathy for what was happening and got mad when I was upset in the office . If you want a caring, compassionate loving vet… THIS IS NOT IT. Also please look at reviews on holland informed. Many other families seemed to agree with me as well. I recommend Hudsonville vet. Sad to see such a good office turn bad with such inconsiderate people.

My dog is dead because they didn’t tell us the side effects of a vaccine given. They gave my 14 year old shih tzu dog a lepto booster that he didn’t need without informing us the side effects or what the vaccine was for. The vaccine is made for dogs that roam in marshy areas which our dog did not. He was unable to walk within 12 hours, had a seizure within 30 hours and died within 48 hours of the vaccine. We assumed the vaccine was required and when we asked they told us it was required however after badgering them they finally admitted it was just recommended and not required. Upon doing a simple google search about the lepto vaccine you’ll see there are many dog deaths, mostly in older small dogs, however they claimed they knew nothing of that. If you bring your pets here make sure you ask, and make them tell you the possible side effects of the medicine given. Our beloved family dog is now dead because they didn’t care enough to explain pros and cons of the vaccine.
